Why the Voynich Zodiac - isn't

[david]

The thread title you chose is misleading. It should have been:
"Why the Voynich Zodiac isn't a calendar"
Even better, since you are discussing a specific theory:
"Why the Voynich Zodiac is a myrogenesis"

Not exactly. I'm arguing that we are interpreting this section backwards by concentrating on the zodiac images.

I'm saying the features we need to be looking at are the nymphs. Each nymph obviously represents something, but what? Well, they represent an aspect in astronomy.

An obvious solution is a lapiadry, a book of stones. Each nymph stands for one type of Stone. Each Stone is assigned to one degree of the zodiac which is why they roughly correspond.

So the zodiac design is simply used to categorise these aspects.
